Migrant Services
People who have just recently moved to Australia may find it difficult to adjust to the Australian culture and lifestyle.
Migrants may experience:
- Homesickness
- Getting lost or disorientated
- Difficulties with English
- Trouble finding and navigating services like Centrelink or Medicare
- Difficulty making new friends
- Employment related issues
Migrants can face a range of issues but there are many things that can make the transition easier such as:
- Joining a sport
- Attending groups or classes for your interests
- Going to TAFE either to practice English or learn something new
- Volunteering at a charity
- Keeping in contact with family and friends
- Getting involved with other people new to the area
